To what can we attribute the rhythmic bounce that propels “Wishawaytoday,” the deliriously great summer single that served as the harbinger for Presents For Sally‘s recently released sophomore set Colours & Changes? My Bloody Valentine‘s blindingly brilliant “Drive It All Over Me” is an obvious reference point, but we suppose the rhythm also echoed prominently… Continue reading Presents for Sally at Clickity Click

Presents for Sally at Drowned in Sound
Presents for Sally may have only formed in 2009 but their music could quite easily have been crafted two decades earlier. Heavily influenced by Creation Records’ halcyon period and the many bands spawned from that era, the trio – Matt Etherton, his wife Anna and Phil Russell – have been honing their sound over the… Continue reading Presents for Sally at Drowned in Sound

Presents for Sally at Linear Tracking Lives!

The Bristol band’s record, Colours And Changes, is out October 9. Download “Wishawaytoday” below. Click through for… Continue reading Presents for Sally at Magnet
Presents for Sally at Pittsburgh in Tune

Presents for Sally earned kudos for their 2010 debut album “A Touch of Joy a Touch of Sadness” and build on that solid foundation… Continue reading Presents for Sally at Pittsburgh in Tune
